What Are You Meditating About?

 Micah 2:1 Woe to those who devise wickedness
    and work evil on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
    because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and seize them,
    and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
    a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against this family I am devising disaster,
    from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you shall not walk haughtily,
    for it will be a time of disaster.

Micah was called to preach to a people consumed with covetousness.  They went to bed thinking about how they could get more for themselves, then woke up in the morning taking the steps they dreamed about. Since what they wanted belonged to others, they conceived of ways to take it away from them. They had no heart for justice and their pride made them think they could get away with it.  It is a consuming way to live when all you think about is what you can consume. It is like a noose around one's next.  What are you meditating on when you go to bed?
